We should all kill any raven and mountain eagle we find in GW:EN. It's obvious from the way they're only able to fly a few inches above the ground and hop around in a lazy, random pattern, that they've either become severely crippled or were born with profound retardation, making it impossible for them to hunt for their own food.

Therefore, we need to give them rest. :*(

i don't like them that much to be honest. If they can really fly then that would be cool. Now they're just a big chicken.

Oh, and more thing: the Eagle is basically a Sparrow. It's the sparrows that fly low over the ground in order not to get caught by hawks, not eagles. Eagles soar.

I agree that the flying birds are obviously ill.

I haven't ever charmed any of them, as the animation is SO bad. Love the moa and crane, no desire to ever tame a raven, eagle, phoenix or rainbow phoenix. Glad that some people like them, an that there's variety, but the model is horrid and the animations are ghastly. Heck, Labyrinth had better animation for the CGI barn owl, and it was made for a 1986 realease, over twenty years ago.

Come on, give me a break. How about an animal that can actually fly, not a reskined turkey?

It appears in your Hall of Monuments after you gain the title "People Know Me" and enter alone with charm animal. It's the largest animal companion of any of the games, but looks like something that came out of the closet. It's bright pink, pastel blue, and sports zebra stripes on it's neck.

They're both just mentioning other birds available. So no, there are no Cranes or Flamingos in EotN.

Dang... I was hoping they are there. I was looking forward to checking out potential pets I hadn't yet discovered.

Thank you for letting me know.

I charmed a raven for my necro but was disappointed by both its completely unreasonable size and it's awkward animations, so I got her a black moa instead and that's been much better.
